Cloud Object Storage
planned
Anurag Goel
While Render supports storing data on disks, it would be great to have a really easy to use object storage feature with the capabilities of AWS S3. This would be accessible via S3-compatible APIs and will be used to store arbitrary blobs like images and videos.

This feature is the last missing piece for us to be able to migrate off of DigitalOcean App Platform completely onto Render. MinIO is great but costs per GB for this on Render end up _much_ higher than any S3 based storage solution out there.
Anurag Goel Meagan Gamache its been a year since the last update on this feature. Is it planned for some time in 2024?

The reason I really want this is because it's a pain configure s3 to use my custom domain plus https plus a cors config plus good distribution network plus protect some images via a permission system while allowing others to be public. It's doable, and it works great when set up in s3, but I'm sick of figuring it out for every site. I think it would be fine if render.com even just used s3 under the hood and abstracted a bunch of the above concerns so I can set up more quickly.

For those of you ending up here from search, if you'd like to keep all of your services on Render and are willing to sacrifice a bit vs S3 costs, you can use this as a temporary solution:
$7/mo for the starter size (you can't go smaller w/ a disk) and it seems you also can't change the zone (it goes to Oregon). $0.25 /GB per month and starts w/ a 10GB disk.

Marked as "Planned" since 2019 - The official recommendation is to use AWS, but Render is marketed as "All Your Services in One Place".
We need this feature please Anurag Goel ! At least an update on this issue would be promising. Looks dead currently.

Michael Auderer: I hear you — this feature has been planned for a long time. This year, it's still something we're looking into, and we'll share more as soon as we can.

This is the top voted PLANNED feature request. Anurag Goel is there any chance this will be added in 2023?

Anurag Goel Any update on this?
Anurag Goel
Michael Selberg: Sorry, it's likely not going to happen this year. Still on the list though, given the demand!

Can someone explain what are the current limitations using Render disks, compared to a cloud object storage?
K
Kai Marshland
David: One big drawback is that services with disks cannot horizontally scale. So, if you want multiple app servers but still want to have persistent storage, you have to either use S3 / an equivalent or build your own storage service

Michael Selberg
Yes, please, would very much like an S3 equivalent in Render

hello
The problem with using Persistent Disk is that only one instance can use at a time and a S3-inspired disk would solve this so it can be used by multiple instances

Anurag Goel any update on this? Would really love to be able to build my product all within Render!
